General information and highlights:

• Probably the first ever winter ascent of the highest peak “Two Cirques” in Anadyr Highlands (Chukotka), in January; the official altitude of the peak is 1785m. Anadyr Highlands is one of two main mountain systems of Chukotka.
• Two Cirques is the highest mountain of Western Chukotka.
• It was a solo climb; approaching the central massif was done on a Kamaz truck and then a snowmobile.
• The peak is located nearby Bilibino and Keperveem, one of the coldest parts of Chukotka, with temperatures down to -60 C and strong winds.
• The distance from the peak to the nearest village: over a 100 km.
• Despite the COVID restrictions, the travel went (reasonably) well 🙂
